Ingredients:

– ½ cup unsalted butter , at room temperature (plus more to butter the pan) – ¼ cup granulated sugar – ¼ teaspoon almond or vanilla extract – 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour – ¼ teaspoon salt – 4 teaspoons Valentines colored nonpareils

 I absolutely love making these because they are super quick and totally fun to gift when you bag them up and stuff them into a cute mug.
